In reply to the judgment in Union of India v.

that case that the same is based on a policy decision of the
// 70 //

instruction regarding fixation of qualifying mark subjectwise
by the competent department as per Rule-23, the aforesaid
judgment relied upon by the Advocate General is not
applicable to the facts of the present case.

Narmada Bachao Andolan vs State Of M.P. & Anr on 11 May, 2011
Although the judgment in Narmada Bachao
Andolan's case (supra) has been delivered on a different set of
fact and in a different context, however, the proposition of
law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in interpreting
Article 163 and 77(3) of the Constitution of India are the well
settled proposition of law. Moreover, the same is also binding
on this Court. However, on a careful analysis of the aforesaid
judgment, this Court is of the view that the said judgment has
no applicability to the facts of the present case. In view of the
// 67 //
provisions contained in Rule-23 of Rules in question. Rule-23
specifically provides that in case of interpretation of any
provisions of rules or in case of any doubt with regard to the
rules, the G.A. Department of the Government of Odisha is
the competent authority to issue clarification/notification in
the mater. No such notification/clarification having been
issued in the present case or the letter in question having not
been approved by the G.A. Department, the same cannot be
construed as an executive instruction under the provisions of
Article 166(3) of the Constitution of India so that the same
will be binding in the facts of the present case.

clearly distinguishable in facts and, as such, the ratio laid
down therein is not applicable to the fact of the present case.
Ramjit Singh Kardam vs Sanjeev Kumar on 8 April, 2020
40. On perusal of the judgment in Ramjit Singh Kardam's
case (supra), this Court observed that the Hon'ble Supreme
// 61 //
Court has held that the candidate who participated in selection
process without demur taking calculated chance to get
selected, thereafter cannot turn around and challenge the
criteria of selection and constitution of selection committee,
however, in the facts of that case and in the absence of any
criteria being published by the Commission on the basis
whereof candidates were going to be selected and candidates
having participated in the process and such criteria having
been published for the first time along with final results,
candidates cannot be estopped from challenging selection
criteria and process. Referring to the aforesaid judgment of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Ramjit Singh Kardam's case
(supra), learned counsel for the Petitioner also submitted that
in the reported judgment, although the power to devise mode
of selection and to fix criteria of selection was entrusted to the
Commission vide a Notification dated 28.07.1998 and even
assuming that the Commission can change criteria of
selection, the said power cannot be exercised in an arbitrary
// 62 //
manner and that the Chairman alone was not competent to
alter the mode of selection criteria especially when change in
criteria was done with objection of downgrading standard of
selection. Further, it was held that the decision dated
03.08.2008 fixing criteria for selection was not taken on that
day as claimed, but said resolution was prepared subsequent
to declaration of result as is evident from the separate
Group-C list signed by all members, produced before the
Court pursuant to direction of Single Judge. Therefore, it was
held that the decision to change selection process by
Chairman alone not only affected the applicants but also had
an adverse impact on merit based selection, which is certainly
impermissible in law.
